fitting Mk4 Golf Recaros?

They really aren't that red once you get them in. Just watch out for a worn drivers side base bolster and worn fabric on the drivers side backrest 
Also watch out for splits in the fabric and worn runners. They will come with 4 pin plugs for the airbag harness and possibly a heated element. Airbag can be sorted, i've got the info if you need it - however your car may well come with 4 pin airbag connectors anyway.

Loom green to airback black

I should be picking a set of these up at the weekend
Where are you getting them from? and how much are you paying? if you dont mind me asking?
I have had my front seat out before and it was easy. I take it they are a straight swap?
Yup a straight swap. the rear bench is even easier. Watch out for the little black plastic clip under the rear bench that keeps the seatbelt in place as it might be missing / can snap.
Other than that it really is easy. Also watch out for the little plastic plugs that cover the screw holes on the plastic seat runner covers on the front seats.

Niceone! thanks for all that. I will make a list of what to look for
I have seen a few sets on ebay over the last few months so if i miss out on these im sure they will pop up again. Thanks again mate.
If you go see them, just make sure there's not too much wear on the seats and also in the foam.
I would consider swapping the foam on the drivers base with the one on the passenger seat as it will have had a lot of use.
